I didnt know his trooper from adam. He told
Me the first time that he is the one cop that will pull over a jeep. The 2nd time he thanked me for taking care of the tires. Ive always been calm and civil and respectful during the stop. However last time i was a little agrivated once he handed me a citation. Both for the citation and the fact he let us ( wife, 10yr old daughter and i ) sit in the parkin lot with lights on us for 15 mins as of we were criminals. My daughter was quite embarrased. Completley ruined a family outting. I still didnt act disrespectful rather questioned his opinion on the doors and compared it to a motorcycle. He got cocky and told me my tires are still out past the body and he could get me for that too. I reminded him what said on theast stop and he said they were still out past the body and if i didnt contact the magistrat he Will pull my licence and issue a warrant then said good bye.

ALL three times the same trooper. Trooper Boardman. The only trooper/cop to pull me over. I even passed 2 other troopers and 1 city cop on my way. He is the only cop to pull me over

Sounds like he has it in for you a jerk with a badge
The only thing he should have got you for was the tires .
Supertrooper jerk off
I'd bring it up that this guy is watching for you 1 time yea 3 times same guy something is wrong

Dude what is the deal with pa and jeeps...I keep hearing these horror stories about random stops for vehicle issues.....I don't know if I want to move there or not.....everybody hauls ass there and do 60 in 25 zones with barely enough room for a sidewalk and they pull "you" for now f n doors. Really ...

"Doors off AND windows down" the key word is "and". If it said OR it would be different. I would think that since the doors have large stickers on them that says that they are only protection from the elements, then you should still have a case. I'm no lawyer though.

My bad. That is what it refers too. On the next page it states if you wish to remove the doors you need "by federal law" mirrors an to see mu dealer for relocation cowl mounts to move them. Also states in the beginning under safe operation not to take sudden tirns that the jeep is a "open body " vehicle and does not offer the same structual saftey a closed vehicle does.

Im headed to the magistrate after work and pleading NOT guilty! And we'll take it from there. Keep the info coming guys. Iv never fought a ticket before and id like to be well informed and ready come "judgement day"

It's not just Jeeps. PA is full of a bunch of legal BS. I just left there and never plan to return to live. You must be thinking of the eastern part of the state with fast drivers though. Jeep content: lots of great, legal off-roading in SW PA!

Yep. Don't forget Rausch creek in eastern pa though. There are tons of parks spread across the state if you live in the right area it's great.

Went to magistrate pleaded not guilty. Now awaiting them to call back with hearing date. Talked to the judge personally and he waved my collateral and just told me to make sure i was at the hearing. Real nice guy. Joked and laughed a bit when i gave him the story. Actually joked with me bought haveing the doors on while i was there cuz it was pouring out side. Wish me luck and please if anyone has advice or info that will help me case let me know. Post, Pm or email

I lost. Have to pay $111 and keep my doors on. Judge said 1st sentence in vehicle code pa175.77(f) says it all. Vehicle must have doors. However suggested seeking a decision from a higher court or petitioning

I dont know how exactly petitioning things work. Dont know how to start one or where to go from there. Im not a political kinda guy. Id just like for us to join forces and get this fixed.

However time is really tight for me right now. I just started night classes to further my education and i am in the process of changing careers. Leaving a job Ive been at for 13 yrs to go back into welding and fab work. Not to mention family at home and archery season started. Im going to put things on hold till i finish night classes and settle into my new career. Hate to put it off but right now my energy is needed else where.

Ps
Please keep thread clear of cop/ trooper/ law enforcment bashing. Thats not what i wanted out of these threads. It definatley does nothing for our case or our image. Thank you!!!
